S'cuder Thanks for the info, I've added up top. That also really great info I didn't know that Willwood had a bolt on caliper to a KH system! mobileparts Thanks for the note, cleaned up now.

Porterfeild emailed me back and said they make pads for the D84, and will get there website updated.

Ok, so the new FMSI catalogs dont have any data on stuff that old, and older catalogs are not easy to find online. But in piecing together some data from others Raybestos Bendix, etc catalogs it looks like the following are the 3 standard ID's we need to worry about. D11 is the KH units...

Thanks all. I'll try and digest some of it and update the chart. I had never heard of the FMSI ID system for brake parts before, and the related D11 pad type for the KH 4 piston units. Looking around I see Pegasus (and Summit) offers a few options for the D11 pad, and if I put the PN from them...

HA! I wish I knew or could distill down what the marketing material says into something succinct that I could believe in, or trust would steer someone else right, given that I think I'll let others explore it. I added the other types of factory calipers and what I think is an interesting note...

Thanks, while it would be great to have a list off all pads etc, I wanted to keep it to the stuff you would not find on an online reseller like rock auto for example. I'm happy to expand the list, and add the other two caliper types, and I'm happy to add part numbers of other compounds into one...

I spent far to much time over the last few days looking for performance brake pad options. I did not see any other threads about this specific topic. I'm happy to add / edit this as I get more info or people share. In this case I'm defining performance as track rated, or aggressive friction for...

Hi, I had put a Volvo electric power steering pump on my 67 barracuda. I've decided to go a different direction, as the setup while fine for around town driving, does not give sufficient flow for auto-crossing. I figure I'm not going to use it, maybe someone else wants it? I'm selling the pump...

That's not a half bad idea, but I don't think there is enough room to easily fit it all in there. I agree, the racks take a less flow (and use more pressure typically) from some basic research. The hydraulic assist circuit area is also much smaller on the all the racks I've seen so it would take...

Ok, doing a little more research, in the years since I did this lots of people have published the CAN bus info to run the pump, so that's great, but now we have to figure out how much the Volvo pump will flow. I know it's supposed to be running 70 or 80% in limp mode, and that limp mode measures...

Yep, that I can do. But unless I can find proof that the pump can flow at least 2 GPM, it won't mater. If anybody has some idea where to look for that (and the documented CAN messages for the pump speed) I'm all ears! I can knock out a little board and firmware to run it all. In the cars that I...

Just for anyone who runs across this. The Volvo pump I'm using is a problem, not enough flow. I hooked a flow meter up to it and it runs just under 1 GPM in it's limp mode, so it's just fine for around town driving, but no good for racing / autocrossing. It looks like you need at least 2 to 2.5...

I've had an electric power steering pump on the car for about 3 years, info about it here. It has been just fine for around town driving and parking lot work. If you are turning the wheel fast, it seems to be easy to overrun the pump and lose assist. I took the car to an autocross last weekend...

All, as a followup about the usage, and to possibly discuses with anyone else who has done this (Tsully, looking at you) I'd like to discuses any impression poeple have of this setup on the factory steering box. (Maybe I should make a new post, but I'll start here) I've had the setup on there...
